Connect to the power adapter to the Gateway. Connect the power adapter to
an electrical outlet.
E.
Turn on your PCs and the Gateway.
Proceed to Step 2: Configure the PCs.

Step 2: Configure the PCs
In Step 2, you will configure each of your computers to be able to communi-
cate with the Gateway.
To do this, you need to configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP (or
TCP/IP) address automatically (this action is also referred to as DHCP).
Computers use IP addresses to communicate with each other across a network
or the Internet.
Find out which operating system your computer is running, such as Windows
95, 98, Millennium, 2000, or XP. One way to find out which operating system
you have is by clicking the
Start
button and then
Settings
. Click
Control
Panel
, and then double-click the
System
icon.
Proceed to the section for the
operating system you are running on your PC.
If your operating system is not referenced here, refer to your operating system’s
documentation.
You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the Gateway.
The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your network set-
tings, depending on the type of Windows operating system you are using. Once
you’ve configured your computers, continue to Step 3: Configure the Gateway.

Note:
You may need to place a small device called a microfilter (not
included) between each phone and wall jack to prevent interference.
Contact your ISP if you have any questions.

Step 3: Configure the ADSL
Gateway
In Step 3, you will configure the ADSL Gateway so it will be able to access the
Internet through your Internet Service Provider (ISP). You will need the setup
information provided by your ADSL ISP. If you do not have this information,
please contact them before proceeding.
The instructions from your ISP tell you how to set up your PC for Internet
access. Because you are now using the Gateway to share Internet access among
several computers, you will use the setup information to configure the Gateway
instead of your PC.
A. Open your web browser. (It
is all right if you get an error
message
at
this
point.
Continue following these directions.) Enter
in the web
browser’s Address field. Press the
Enter
key.
B. An Enter Network Password window, shown in Figure B
1
, will appear
(Windows XP users will see a Connect to 192.168.1.1 window, shown in
Figure B
2
). Enter
admin
in lowercase letters in the User Name field, and
enter
admin
in lowercase letters in the Password field (admin is the default
user name and password). Then click the
OK
button.
Note:
You only need to configure the Gateway once using any com-
puter you have set up.
